The Fort Wayne Komets released forward John Dunbar and defenseman Jeremy Gates on Monday, allowing them to return to Pensacola of the Southern Professional Hockey League where they will complete in the playoffs. Komets General Manager David Franke said he expects defenseman Nick Schaus to play Wednesday against Toledo after missing a pair of games with a lower-body injury, but center Brett Smith is doubtful with a concussion and forward/defenseman Nick Wheeler is doubtful with a shoulder injury.
